Oh, we just program lamps for the few people we call most often.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like to have my phone functions on my
phone, not my computer.  It's a lot easier to glance down momentarily
at my phone than to find room on my cluttered screen to run an app, or
go find it running somewhere just to see if Kim's on her phone or to
see what phone I hear ringing across the room.

It means I sometimes need to juggle three calls at once and this is
much easier when I have visual clues than if I'm hookflashing around.
